Series.corr(other, method='pearson', min_periods=None)

Compute correlation with other Series, excluding missing values.

Parameters:

other : Series

method : {‘pearson’, ‘kendall’, ‘spearman’} or callable

• pearson : standard correlation coefficient
• kendall : Kendall Tau correlation coefficient
• spearman : Spearman rank correlation

• callable: callable with input two 1d ndarray

  and returning a float .. versionadded:: 0.24.0

min_periods : int, optional

Minimum number of observations needed to have a valid result

Returns:

correlation : float

Examples

>>> histogram_intersection = lambda a, b: np.minimum(a, b
... ).sum().round(decimals=1)
>>> s1 = pd.Series([.2, .0, .6, .2])
>>> s2 = pd.Series([.3, .6, .0, .1])
>>> s1.corr(s2, method=histogram_intersection)
